In vitro activities of newer quinolones against bacteroides group organisms.

چکیده
The activities of BMS-284576, clinafloxacin, moxifloxacin, sitafloxacin, trovafloxacin, imipenem, cefoxitin, and clindamycin against 589 Bacteroides fragilis group isolates were determined. The activity of BMS-284576 was comparable to that of trovafloxacin. Sitafloxacin and clinafloxacin were the most active quinolones, and moxifloxacin was the least active. B. fragilis was the most susceptible of the species, and Bacteroides vulgatus was the most resistant. Association of specific antibiotic resistance with Bacteroides species was noted for all quinolones.

Synthesis of new piperazinyl quinolones and investigation of their in vitro antibacterial activities
Quinolone antibacterial agents are currently used for the treatment of various bacterial infections. The nature of functional group at the 7 position of the quinolone ring system is known to have strong influence on the spectrum and extent of in vitro antibacterial activity. Accordingly, a series of N-L2- oxo-2-(2- furyl) and N-[2- oxyimino (2- furyl) ethyl] piperazinyl quinolone derivatives...

The in vitro activities of a new quinolone, WIN 57273, and the combination of piperacillin and tazobactam, a beta-lactamase inhibitor, were compared with those of cefoxitin, ceftizoxime, chloramphenicol, clindamycin, imipenem, metronidazole, and piperacillin for 123 clinical anaerobic isolates. Ceftizoxime and cefoxitin had equivalent activities, while metronidazole was active against gram-nega...

The in vitro susceptibilities of three Pseudomonas species (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas putida, and Pseudomonas fluorescens) and Xanthomonas maltophilia to quinolone antimicrobial agents were determined. Several newer agents, particularly PD117558, PD117596, PD127391, sparfloxacin (AT-4140), A-56620, and temafloxacin, were active against Pseudomonas species. X. maltophilia isolates were...
متن کاملComparative in vitro activities of amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and imipenem against anaerobic bacteria isolated from community hospitals.
The susceptibilities of recent clinical isolates of anaerobic bacteria from two community hospitals were determined. Thirty percent of pigmented Bacteroides species and bile-sensitive, nonpigmented Bacteroides species produced penicillinase and were resistant to amoxicillin. Cefoxitin and clindamycin showed good activity against most strains, with the exception of rare isolates of the Bacteroid...

Seventeen qnr-containing transconjugants were constructed with azide-resistant Escherichia coli J53 as the recipient, and the MICs of 12 quinolones were tested by agar dilution methods. Sitafloxacin, BAYy3118, and premafloxacin had higher activity in vitro than ciprofloxacin against transconjugants and donors containing qnr. The donors had higher quinolone MICs than the transconjugants.
